Big bore revolvers, loaded with heavyweight hard cast bullets, are a proven combination for hunters or others looking for handguns with the best chance of stopping dangerous animals. Look for 1980's articles by Ross Seyfried. Elmer Keith and ranchers have done similar for the big bulls and wild animals they deal with as well.

The 5" Coonan 357Magnum 1911 gets surprising results as well. Much better than we might expect.
